Enhancing Vision Through Sensory Substitution Technology

Sasumu Tachi's research on sensory substitution has led to a system that allows visually impaired individuals, like Mitsuhiro ASO, to perceive distant objects through tactile sensations. The system uses specially equipped glasses and a headband with electrodes to convert video camera images into electrical stimuli, providing a rough analogy of sight. This technology offers increased flexibility for those who rely on canes for mobility.
